In a surprising development, former couple Katie Price and Peter Andre have issued a joint public statement, just weeks after Price's unexpected wedding to Dubai businessman Lee Andrews. The television personality and her ex-husband posted a unified message on their respective Instagram accounts this morning, signalling a potential end to their long-running public feud.
A New Chapter of Positivity
The five-paragraph statement, shared simultaneously by both celebrities, announces their decision to "close the door on the past" and move forward with mutual respect. The parents of Princess and Junior Andre emphasised their commitment to creating a calm and supportive environment for their children, stating this is their primary focus moving forward.
Legal and Personal Agreement
Significantly, the statement reveals that the pair have reached a "mutual agreement, both legally and personally" confirming that neither will speak negatively about the other going forward. This formal arrangement appears designed to prevent any future public disputes between the former spouses, who were married for four and a half years after tying the knot in 2005.
The statement continues: "This decision reflects a shared commitment to our family and stability. We want to stand united for our children. We are hoping this is a start of a positive relationship."
Timing Following Recent Events
This united front comes just weeks after Katie Price, 47, announced her shock marriage to Lee Andrews. The former glamour model, who is a mother of five, was photographed in a white bodycon dress with cut-outs as she said "I do" to her fourth husband. Reports suggested the couple met just one week before their wedding, though Price has since shared multiple joyful social media posts featuring images of the pair together and showcasing her substantial diamond engagement ring.
Media and Public Response
In their joint statement, Price and Andre have specifically requested "understanding and support from both the media and the public as we move ahead." On her Instagram account, Price tagged her ex-husband in the post, which Andre then screenshotted and shared on his own Instagram story, demonstrating their coordinated approach to this announcement.
The statement appears to mark a significant turning point in the relationship between the two celebrities, whose public disagreements reached their peak last year. By presenting a united front focused on their children's wellbeing, they hope to establish a more positive dynamic moving forward, regardless of their separate personal lives and recent marital developments.
